Vital Source Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1994 with a vision of bringing learning and development resources into the digital age. Vital Source was acquired by Ingram Industries in 2006 as part of the formation of Ingram Digital Group.

Today, Vital Source is Ingram's fastest-growing business, and our Bookshelf® platform is the most preferred and most used e-textbook delivery system in higher education with over 3.25 million registered users on 6,000 campuses in 200 countries and territories worldwide.

With the acquisitions of VPG Integrated Media in 2011, and CourseSmart in 2014, Vital Source offers an expanded digital textbook catalog and content enhancement capabilities that enrich the classroom and bring instructional content to life. Whether through interactive learning objects, e-textbooks, animation, and video, Vital Source transforms content into a dynamic and engaging learning experience.

Our e-textbook distribution systems have been designed to support learning and built to scale for dramatic growth. We have long-standing relationships with more than 300 of the best-known publishers around the world with years of proven experience helping them expand their digital business.
